The Gators are 102nd out of 120 Football Bowl Subdivision teams in total offense, averaging 332.7 yards a game. UF is 78th in scoring offense at 26 points a game.

With the Southeastern Conference portion of the schedule complete, and two overmatched teams coming up, Florida could elect to devote more time in practice to fixing its issues.

However, according to Florida coach Will Muschamp, UF will make no adjustments to its practice routine. The seventh-ranked Gators (8-1, 7-1 SEC) host Louisiana-Lafayette (5-3) at 12:20 p.m. on Saturday. The Ragin’ Cajuns, a Sun Belt Conference team, have lost to Oklahoma State, North Texas and Arkansas State.

“It’s all the same to me,” Muschamp said. “This is a good football teaming come in here. Having recruited in the state of Louisiana, where most of their players are from, and south Mississippi, they’ve got really good skill people who can run and play. The offense that they have creates issues for us defensively. If you look at the numbers they’re putting up, our total concentration is on them completely.”

The NCAA allows teams 20 hours of practice time a week. UF plays Football Championship Series program Jacksonville State at home next week before traveling to play Florida State in the regular-season finale. The Seminoles have defeated UF the past two seasons and are tops in the nation in total defense.

“At the end of the day, you’ve got to prepare the same week in and week out,” Florida quarterback Jeff Driskel said. “Every team has playmakers. We haven’t sat down and watched the film yet because we start on Monday afternoons, but they’re going to have playmakers. We’re going to have to prepare well, and we’re going to have to play well. That’s what it comes down to.”
